Castelli Maya gloves:Originally Posted by maillotpois

The description says "lightly padded", but they're pretty much just a layer of ultrasuede sewn onto a layer of mesh (with nice cool areas on the palm that are just mesh).
They run a little large, I think that even though they are marketed as "WSD" gloves, the sizing is unisex. I wear a medium PI glove but a small in the Maya glove.
They have elastic pull loops that I don't notice at all while I'm riding, but find myself fussing with if I'm off the bike but still wearing my gloves.

I'm riding a hybrid specifically because I have some shoulder injury, so the straight handlebars help. I have some soreness in the palm of my hands. Wouldn't call it pain really, but I do go through a lot of gloves and then it's fine for a while. My job also puts a lot of stress on my hands. I don't think it's nerve damage, but I do have some tingling and numbness from roatator cuff impingement. It just feels really tender on the palm of my hand.

I have the Mayas too - has anybody else noticed the fabric having a tendency to pick/run? I've not worn mine much, but I've noticed a few holes that seem to be growing.
I really like them for rides on decent roads - but I do find that my hands go a bit tingly when riding over really bad pavement.

Yeah, that was one of our really hot days a few weeks ago. I noticed the puppy disappeared, and went to look for him, and there he was!

What about gloves with gel?
I really like my Specialized Pro gloves (padded, but not gel), though the elastic at the wrist stretches out a lot over time. I may have to go with the gel ones to get the velcro thing. The gel is kind of thick for my taste (and I have cushy bartape), but I don't think I'll notice it much over time.
On a semi-related note, does anyone know where to get those longer, lycra TT gloves? I can wear men's sizes.
